Oyster Catchers..........Part 2

Elusive Oyster Catchers

Elusive Oyster Catcher,
all I really want is your picture.

Are you really so camera shy,
that you must scurry when I catch your eye?

O mister Oyster Catcher,
just one will do—
no poses needed,
only a memory of you!

Please stay where you are,
Just one click will do it!
Please wait one moment more,
I only have to focus…

Oyster Catcher,
Oyster Catcher,
What shall we do?
Is there any compromising with you?

See, look how close I can venture to a crow!
But to you, Oyster Catcher—Oh no!
